What are the thirteen stops in the underworld?

The first stop in the underworld, the earth temple.

A dead soul that has just passed away is called a living soul. After four decomposition, the carrier of life information energy leaves the body after about 12 hours, which is what we call the soul. The soul will be very painful in the process of leaving the body, so it is best for the family not to touch his body to alleviate his pain. There are land temples in every place, some of which are invisible to human flesh in Yang's world, but they are real, giving me the same feeling as the yamen seen on TV, with antique decoration. There is a local "hukou book" on a brown-red desk in the middle, which records the local mountains and rivers, population, livestock, personnel and so on. As the saying goes, one side keeps one person in water and soil, and the other side keeps one person in water and soil. The birth and death of a soul must go through the local land temple. Although the land god is humble, he is a well-known god, and no one dares to contradict him. More importantly, it is an important messenger for the world church to communicate with the sacred world. From the transmission of inscriptions to the incineration of money worship, it is inseparable from the help of the earth god. When someone's life is over, Yin soldiers will take ghosts to the land temple, and the land will open the local "hukou book" for verification. The deceased belonged to a local family and he really died. After checking one by one that he had no religious belief, he stamped the local stamp on the ticket and crossed the underworld. On both sides of the case of the Communist Party of Lu, there are two sections, one is the road leading directly to the western paradise (people handed down from the folk master "Biography of Drama Names" can follow their ancestors directly), and the other is the road leading to the underworld. The first level is bright and the first level is extremely dark. Yin soldiers force ghosts into the evil wind and embark on the road of death.

The second stop of the underworld, Huangquan Road.

It is often said that the road to death is not easy. There are no young people or old people on the road to death. It's true. Looking up at the yellow road, I can't see the sun, the moon and the stars. Looking down, you can't see the dust of the land. Look ahead, you can't see Yangguan Road. Looking back, I can't see my relatives and friends. Some people may ask, why don't the families of the deceased burn paper cows, paper horses and paper carts for the deceased and use these tools on the road? Only then did I know that the soul of the dead can't be called a ghost. Only when you enter Du Yingcheng can you be called a real ghost. Disciples of the regular tangkou know better. Sometimes, they buy a person's life, rob a person's soul, and rob a person's soul on this ecliptic. Because we haven't entered Du Ying yet, everything is getting better. In today's words, Huangquan Road can be regarded as an accident-prone area. Now I think of the first time I went to the nether world, and my heart is still so nervous and sour. When I think about the feelings of my deceased relatives when they went to the nether world, my descendants can't see me off with filial piety, and their eyes are full of tears. The road to the grave is rugged. Some souls from all walks of life cry and refuse to leave, some are full of sweet words to please the Yin soldiers, and some are straight and stunned ... People have the strongest sense of survival, but how many people can come back to life on the road of death? No matter how the soul begged, no matter how hard it tried to escape, it could not earn back the death chain in Yin Bing's hand, so it went home all the way. No matter how tired your soul is, ghosts will not let you rest and delay your trip. You must leave this hell road as soon as possible. Just kidding, there is no inn in the nether world, and no amount of money will be wasted on the nether world. The destination is the same place, the underworld-Du Ying.

The third stop in the underworld, Wangxiangtai.

Out of Huangni Road, I went to Wangxiangtai. As the saying goes, once you get to Wangxiangtai, you will never come back. A stone platform is very high, emitting a dark light. You can go back and write three red characters on the platform. When you arrive at Wangxiangtai, there is almost no possibility of resurrection. At this time, it is almost time for gold to be buried in the cabinet. This king was made by Guanyin Bodhisattva. He is ruthless and compassionate in the south, showing his sympathy for all beings who don't want to die and missing their loved ones at home. Let the dead souls stand on the platform of their hometown and finally take a look at their hometown and relatives. Standing on the homesickness platform, you can see Shiyang's home, friends and relatives, and your body lying there. People who have not experienced the place you are going to will not understand this heartbreaking pain. I urge you to be more tolerant and friendly to your family and friends. Don't wait until the day of regret, it will be too late. I don't know how many tears of sadness and regret are carried on this homesickness platform!

The fourth stop in the underworld, Gouling.

Walking all the way down from Wangxiangtai, I suddenly heard a dog barking, which became louder and louder, and more and more people listened in horror. A knowledgeable friend should know that dogs and chickens are two very important media for the communication between the dead and the dead. Dogs can see the souls of the dead. When the cock crows, ghosts must avoid the sun to avoid entertainment. At the same time, careful observation of friends can see that the old tooth dog will never sleep on the hot kang, and the golden rooster will never sleep on his stomach. All living things have their own rules and regulations. I saw groups of vicious dogs, covered in Kouga, with hard fur and steel wire winding, biting the souls of all walks of life until they tore off their legs and feet. All souls try their best to escape from this evil dog's iron mouth, Kouga. Some of them had their legs bitten off, some had their feet torn off, some had only one arm, and some had their hands broken. I don't know, it's not so easy for a familiar person to change from a soul to a ghost. It has to go through these three disasters in Jiu Nan. Being a man is not easy, and being a ghost is not that easy. Just thinking about this, a group of vicious dogs also swore at me on the cloud. Seeing this scene, I realized that the world's gold was put into the cupboard to earn dry food and dog sticks, all for crossing this evil dog ridge. However, the year of birth is a dog lover, and dog lovers walk all the way on the flat ground. Give birth to dogs, kill dogs, kill dogs, eat dogs. People who cross this evil dog ridge are scared out of their wits. Butchers who kill dogs in the third world may have to taste the pain of being slaughtered and divided. Again, you died at home, don't forget this dog food! Joke, not to mention whether there is rabies vaccine in the underworld, it is not easy to become a ghost without hitting dogs and asking for dry food! Dog ridge is full of severed limbs and bloody bodies. Few people can live all over Gouling.

The fifth stop in the underworld, Jinji Mountain.

Jinji Mountain, two straight peaks have to climb bit by bit. For example, we have to climb from the back of the chicken to the comb of the chicken. Only by crossing Jinji Mountain can you reach Du Ying. Evil Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain are two barriers that all souls must pass through. After these two passes, you are qualified to be a ghost. As soon as you enter Jinji Mountain, flocks of cocks come at you head-on, and the mouths of iron-billed vultures are worse than others. Every blink of an eye will be blinded by the eyes of the soul, and the wings of agitation will make you unable to open your eyes. Sharp claws are more like soul-catching hooks in big black hands. A claw can make you energetic and go deep into your internal organs until you scratch your heart. You can think about what it's like to kill chickens in the world. Now, the soul occupies the chickens. Presumably, at this time, you can fully realize the feeling of being killed. This reminds me of the world. When buried, there were lines in the disc on the chest, all of which were prepared for crossing Jinji Mountain. It can be seen that the rules left by our ancestors are all internal statements. On the other hand, I'd rather believe it or not. Who wants their dead relatives and friends to let chickens nag me?

The sixth stop in the underworld, Ye Gui Village.

Going forward, suddenly there was a sea of people and colorful flags fluttering, as if there was some party, yangko, dragon and lion dancing, which was very lively. At the sixth stop in the underworld, Ye Gui Village. In fact, on the surface, all the lively scenes are illusory, and they are all quadriplegic souls who have crossed the evil dog ridge and Jinji Mountain. Because I can't move forward because my limbs are incomplete, I have to stay here and gather, waiting for the arrival of the sound spirit confused by excitement, and taking the opportunity to find new limbs and change into my own body in order to continue to the underworld. I saw those confused and healthy souls, and I couldn't get rid of these claws. They were crying, bleeding and heartbroken. At this time, I saw that there are some healthy souls in the lower world who can pass safely. I don't know why, so I asked the boy. The boy replied that all the families of the deceased burned three catties and six taels of paper money in front of the deceased. Only when a healthy soul takes this money can it pass smoothly. I know in my heart that money makes the mare go

The seventh stop in the underworld, Blissful Hall.

Further on, there is a pavilion in front, and there is a deep well in the pavilion, from which rolling spring water gushes. This is the seventh stop in the underworld, Blissful Hall. After that, you will reach Du Ying, the underworld. Remember that when mortals arrive in the underworld, don't mind your own business, look around, chat up people, or eat and drink at will, otherwise the immortal body will be damaged and it will be difficult to return to the sun. The lower pavilion is an ecstasy hall, and the spring water is ecstasy water. The souls who have passed several passes in front must drink this intoxicating water here in order to tell the truth from their mouths, truthfully report the crimes of the dead and wait for the interrogation of the Ten Halls of the underworld. At the same time, if you drink intoxicating water, even if you are the next immortal, it is difficult to return to the sun. Only peace of mind to be a ghost, waiting to fall. Seeing the soul of the past here, my resentment has been halved. One by one, I queued for water and went to Du Ying. If I wake up the dreamer in one word, if this spring can be found in the silence of the last French era, wouldn't it be a peaceful and prosperous time? All the way through the clouds, I finally saw a gate with couplets on it. The last couplet: people and ghosts, people and ghosts have their own ways; Next link: yin and yang are separated forever; There is no black plaque, and there are three golden characters of Du Ying hanging in the city center.

The eighth stop in the underworld, the underworld.

Out of the ecstasy hall, I really entered the eighth stop of the underworld, the capital of the underworld. The gate of Du Ying gives me the feeling that it is an extremely solemn administrative unit that needs to be visited. So high, people are awe-inspiring. Really can't see the stars, the sun, the moon and the earth. Entering the capital, there are two gates. Between the second door and the first door, there are two lamps floating high but not moving. One is extremely bright and the other is extremely dark. The dark light went down and entered the door of the second jade carving. As soon as you enter the second door, you will see 10 doors arranged side by side, one to ten hell halls at a time. Every palace gate is guarded by Yin soldiers. Yin soldiers are not completely dressed in ancient costumes, but the uniforms on their upper bodies are antique. Ghost soldiers in the underworld are also reincarnation. Many dead people in modern times can also act as ghost soldiers. Every temple gate is guarded by Yin soldiers, some carefully check the tickets in the soul's hand, and some check the height and size of the soul's head. They are all methodical work, no less than or even worse than the administrative departments in the world. Ghosts here are all legal, clear as water and bright as a mirror. The ghosts here all know that they are dead, and they are waiting in line at various temples for Yan's trial.

Ninth stop in the underworld, 18th floor of hell.

People who believe in Buddhism, study Buddhism and worship Buddhism all know the eighteen layers of hell in Buddhist scriptures. The eighteen layers of hell I saw through the shadow were exactly the same as those described in the Buddhist scriptures. The only difference is that the punishment in every hell is more severe than described, and it needs to be true. That kind of painful feeling, that kind of sad scene, only those who have seen it with their own eyes can understand it. Eighteen layers of hell is an independent gate, not in the arrangement of ten halls of hell, but it has its own position. But the ten halls of hell and the eighteen halls of hell are interlinked. The souls of all walks of life went to court to ask questions from the first temple. The mirrors, red iron pillars, millstones and other instruments of torture mentioned in Buddhist scriptures are real. The Yin soldiers in charge of these instruments of torture are really green-faced and sharp-toothed, and they are scared to death before they get them. Generally, after the soul has passed the examination of the first class, the time of Shiyang's three rooms should also be seven days before the deceased. At this time, a batch of new coupons will be issued by Yan in a temple and handed over to Yin soldiers. The wandering souls from all walks of life will carry seven souls, attacking Yang as a ghost for the first seven times and visiting relatives and friends. If there is a ghost who refuses to return to the underworld for a long time, then the bundle of fairy locks will start to detain the soul head and exert the method of destroying the soul, so that this soul even ghost who refuses to return to the underworld is not qualified. After his seventh birthday, he returned to the underworld for interrogation. Hall after hall. Those who are wronged must be cleaned up, and those who pay bribes and give gifts to do bad things must be severely punished. Every hall is a hanging mirror, making decisions for the people, where the wicked and the good will get their due rewards. At the same time, it is often said that the city of death, ghost town and so on. It's all eighteen levels of hell As long as there are people who commit this crime, no one can escape.

This paper mainly introduces a hell punishment, blood pool. Because this blood pool hell is to be punished, it is really more and more closely linked with this last law era. Friends who know the Daoism of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, or friends who have seen the Gregorian calendar, can find that in this part of choosing a day, they will see an auspicious day for bathing. In ancient times, there was a time limit for bathing, and there were even sayings about getting a haircut, washing clothes and going out to the toilet. This blood pool hell is about the unreasonable use and waste of water resources. Especially female friends, if they casually wash dirty menstrual blood and carry water before and after giving birth, regardless of lent, thus colliding with the land god, they will be punished by this blood pool hell. You have to drink dead people's waste water to be reborn. This is why an old cow who drank dirty water was burned to death after a dead woman died. Cherish and cherish water resources. Every minute of life has exercise, big and small. The so-called everything has a Buddha, and there are karma everywhere. Seeing the dead soul drinking the dirty water and blood in the blood pool, the unpleasant feeling of foul smell can only be known by personal experience. If you are not punished, you will never know how to repent!

The tenth stop in the underworld, the support pavilion.

Everyone will wonder whether the living in the Yang world can burn paper money, clothes and offerings for the dead, and whether the dead can receive them. The answer is that as long as paper money, clothes and offerings are burned correctly and legally, the deceased can get it. The support pavilion in the middle, like the post office in the underworld, is responsible for delivering materials to the dead. In fact, the ancestors left a rule that people should burn for seven days, one hundred days, anniversaries, and so on after death. These rules are all reasonable. Generally, the ghosts of the underworld are in the hall on the seventh, hundredth and anniversary. For example, burning five flowers in May or July is for the sake of five horrors. I hope the horrible people can see the flowers and let the dead pass smoothly. In fact, all laws and regulations of the underworld are fair, just and open, and this custom has been continuing in the Yang world, supported by sincere love and filial piety. I think the phrase "filial piety moves the sky", but sadly, in the last French era, how many sons were really filial? Lambs also know how to lick breast milk on their knees, let alone wait for us to be human in this life. It is common for cattle and sheep to sacrifice to the gods, and anyone who sees the dead will say. People should be more filial to their parents when they are alive, and don't wait until their parents are gone to regret it! This support pavilion is also clearly allocated, and will be delivered to the soul in time and accurately according to the address of the private house and the morality of the provider. At this time, the soul can begin to accept the support of the dead. I'm watching Yin Bingnan distributing supplies to support the dead in the pavilion. Note here that different Yin soldiers wear different uniforms in the underworld. Suddenly I saw some golden light on some offerings and asked Python Daxian why. Daxian replied that these glittering offerings were provided by Buddhist magnetic field, Taoist magnetic field and Xianjia magnetic field, all because the descendants of dutiful sons were provided by regular temples, Dojo and the entrance of the hall of the dead under the guidance of experts. When these offerings with magnetic fields arrive in the underworld, they will be given priority to the dead. Having said that, I know in my heart that the underworld also has "express mail".

Eleventh stop in the underworld, ghost castle.

Passing the support booth, it's still early. Ask the boy, those souls who have no sin and don't need to go to the eighteenth floor of hell, where did they go after going to the tenth hall of hell? When a boy reaches his goal, all souls can be called ghosts after the examination of the Ten Halls of the underworld. Guilty people will be punished to 18 level hell, and innocent people will start their own ghost lives according to the records in the life and death book and keep their own ghost lives. After saving your own ghost life, you have to wait for the six dharma divisions in the wheel of karma. After the soul is transformed into a ghost, the ghost has a so-called magical power compared with the living in the Yang world. In fact, this avatar is relative. For ghosts, the most basic breathing function of the living in the yang world is also magical power. Ghosts who live a normal ghost life live in the eleventh stop of the underworld, Ghost Castle.

Ghosts in the ghost castle also have their own laws and regulations and their own annual leave. Most of the ghosts played by the living in the Yang world are ghosts in this ghost castle, and only a few are ghosts. Ghosts in the ghost castle can return to death on specific days and under specific circumstances, but these ghosts must strictly abide by their own Taoist scope and requirements. There are strict rules about when they can appear, when they can go home, when they can possess themselves, and when they can receive offerings. As long as they don't obey the law, they will be gathered in front of the tenth hall of hades and sent to the eighteenth floor of hell. After the boy said it, many mysteries in his heart were solved. I wonder if you have read this article now. Do you understand what the boy said? Have you solved the mystery in your heart?

Further on, in the Fifth Hall, I saw the White Jade Temple Gate, where the lotus flowers were in full bloom, bursting with Tibetan incense and all kinds of auspiciousness. The couplets at the entrance of the five halls are mainly composed of the underworld, the ten halls and the five halls. 18. One hundred punishments in hell are legally justified. In the fifth hall of hell, there are many air conditioners. What I need to tell you here is that if there is a chance to turn cloudy in the future, don't eat anything from the underworld casually, otherwise it will be difficult to return to the sun. Even if you return to the sun, you will be seriously ill.

Reincarnation is divided into ten grades, written today, hoping to help those in need. Head and others, become a Buddha as a teacher; Second-class, official seal Houmen; The third person, Chao; Fourth class, minister of civil and military affairs; Fifth, people, prosperity; The sixth person, the street is called poverty; Seven people, take off the donkey and become a horse; Eight people, animals and birds; Nine people, the next generation of pigs and dogs; Ten people, fish, turtles and shrimps.

Twelve stops in the underworld, Lotus Terrace.

Out of the five halls of Hades, I saw a light in front of me. Strong light gives off bright light, but it is not dazzling at all. Under the bright light, I saw a lotus table, which was dominated by gold and supplemented by seven colors, giving people endless joy and freedom. Don't ask, don't know, this must be the lotus platform of the throne where the earth treasure king preached in hell.

Tibetan bodhisattva is the spring breeze of cold hell, giving people bursts of warmth. Earth treasure bodhisattva, swear hell is not empty, swear not to become a Buddha. Ghosts from all walks of life are blessed by Wang Di Bodhisattva and feel the light of Buddhism. As long as you are really kind and give up your desire, you can still live in the west even if you become a ghost. Seeing those ghosts with mutilated limbs and hideous faces, they really went to the west, turned into lotus flowers, flew out of hell and went straight to heaven with the blessing of the bodhisattva, the king of earth treasure. Only sigh, although the rain is wide but not moist, there is no rootless grass; Although Buddhism is extensive, it can't cross people who have no chance!

Keep moving. I came to the second door of Du Ying mentioned above. Once again, I saw a bright light and a dark light. I just know that all the trips just now are the roads of darkness and light, and the road to hell. Now if you want to come back from the dead, you have to take this bright road. The boy nodded in agreement, and this bright road is the way to return to the soul and get a new life. If a disciple who has passed through Yin sets foot on the road of reincarnation, he will never return to Yang.

Station 13 in the underworld, Resurrection Cliff.

The thirteenth stop to the underworld, Resurrection Cliff. There is a bridge on the edge of the cliff. There are four bridge guards on the bridge, one on each side. The boundary pillar says "Gold and Silver Bridge". On the bridge, there is an old woman holding tea for the ghost of the past. This old woman is the God of Meng Po, and this tea is Meng Po Tang. After drinking this soup, she forgot the grievances of her previous life and was reborn everywhere. On the other side of the bridge, there are six circular roads that emit all kinds of light. These are the six parts of the wheel of karma. Which roundabout will you jump into when you are reborn? Disciples who have passed the Yin must set foot on the road of reincarnation and go straight to the cliff of resurrection. On the other side of the resurrection cliff, the sun is so warm!
